OK, I see.  So maybe I'll leave those as is.  But I would like to 
understand exactly how this works so I could know what needs to be done 
to change one of these names.  For example, I made the attached change 
and it wasn't enough to preserve the defaults.  See attached before and 
after screenshots.  In both cases, I removed my 
~/.config/octave/qt-settings file before starting Octave.
